JESSE MAC CORMACK AFTER THE GLOW

"Something's gonna kill us / No, nothing's gonna save us" the ominous opening of this brand new single from Jesse Mac Cormack rings out. The Montreal born and raised singer-songwriter combines his characteristic, impassioned drawl with a wonderfully atmospheric, eerie accompaniment lead by the languid strums of his acoustic and the slow, haunting march of the percussion. As the cut progresses the tension heightens as warm layers of crying guitar join the wash of dark synths beneath, nodding to the likes of Bon Iver and Ben Howard's brilliant darker moments. Following-on from his second, Secret City Records-released EP CRUSH, "After The Glow" (available to download now) is a raw, timeless new release from the talented Mac Cormack. -G.O'B
